For years Rowell outsourced site selection and rate negotiation of not only NAMTA's annual meeting and trade show, but also the association's regional training programs, board and committee meetings, and all business-related travel for Rowell and his seven-member staff.

The National Art Materials Trade Association (NAMTA), National Art Educators Association, Art Craft Materials Institute, and the American Society of Testing Materials, along with SHOPA, have continued to meet and work together for mutual benefit.

NAMTA's disaster recovery plan, in part based on Rowell's experience as director of the Institute for Space Technology, Cape Canaveral, Florida, includes setting up a communication center to monitor the membership, partnering with regional associations to provide communication redundance to back up each other's database systems, and collaborating with other national and international art associations for relief efforts.
